Yes, it was. Priest, Maiden, ACDC, SCorpions, a little later metallica and Slayer. WE loved those bands so much and going to see them truly was an event.
Not one camera phone ,not one tablet,the passion and the emotion on the faces of everyone in the crowd says it all ,no bs just proper music from real people ,long may continue
They didn't exist at the time, it's the people who use the phones that are the problem. Guarantee you plenty of phones would have went up there if they existed.
What is the point of comments like this haha its like complete memberberries - if smartphones existed when this concert took place, they’d be as ubiquitous then as now!
Ben C It’s good you’re into Metal this early in your life though. Just wait until high school hits and you’re blasting this in your car going 20 over the speed limit.
@@NuBombTurk55 Went to both, Priest was louder for sure, plus Rock'n with Dokken was way better than Twisted Sister, lol. The city banned Priest after that show claiming it was so loud that it caused structural damage to Colosseum. I thought Somewhere tour was better IMO from Maiden. The best sounding show goes to Queensrÿche take your pick Mindcrime or Empire doesn't matter they we near flawless on both.
In my opinion "Hell Bent For Leather" a masterpiece of Heavy Metal music. Also a trademark of Judas Priest, a band that goes into history of mankind's music.
Holy shit. I wish so badly I had grown up during this era, I was born in '88. This concert looked like an absolute blast, I've watched this concert and so many other 80s metal concerts on CZcams over the years. What a fun time, I'm so jealous, this is back when society was freakin NORMAL and fun-loving and easy-going.. lots of hot girls in attendance headbanging too! And no fat people, everyone is trim and good-looking and full of energy.. no cell phones, no hyper-sensitivity, no blue-haired weirdos, no bullshit! Simpler times. The 80s feels like it was one of the last fun decades before America went to shit, like it was pretty much the last hurrah before the party went out with a bang.
The 70's and 80's metal bands was popular and gave tons of money to the music corporations, but most of these band's were created by people without much money, who started from the bottom, and made an hard way to the top, with dishonest managers, and even with the blackout of the radio station, only to see a bunch of stupid people accusing them of satanism, of decadency, and other things. They even made enemies in governements, like in USA (PMRC). Many of the 90's and latter called "heavy metal" bands, had more help of the music industry, were played in the radios, and most of their hits, and even line ups, were/are created by people beyond desks and not by the bands thereselfs. Must of them weren't\aren't even "heavy metal" but are called as heavy metal because that term help to sell. I don't know who old you are, but being a rock fan wasn't always as normal as today or in the 90's. In the 80's people look at us as if we were all a bunch junkies, devil workshippers, and sexual perverts. And rock music represented our rage and frustrations. Rock music were trully rebellious. Most of the post 90's rock music just doesn't have that rebellion.
Nope. Metal was seen as "evil" and "nocive" back then. If a kid killed himself, the mainstream media and the governement blamed rock music, if a kid became a drug addict, the society blamed rock music, if a kid stole a candy in the shop, his parents blamed rock music. Many hard and heavy rock bands sold very well their albuns from the 80's, but they almost didn't had any airplay in radio stations or tv, who usualy just played pop, new-wave and other mainstream styles. Even the heavy rock bands more "mainstream" like , for example, Scorpions, were not so "mainstream" back them. Rock music were popular among those who felt as outsiders in our hypocritical societies. But "popular" isn't the same thing as "mainstream". Doubts? Listen to some "popular" rock albuns from the 80's, like Screaming For Vengeance, Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, Heaven And Hell, Back In Black, Holy Diver, Ace Of Spades, Peace Sells, Burning The Witches, Blackout, Operation Mindcrime, Diary of a Madman, Master Of Puppets, Headhunter, Run For Cover, Perfect Strangers, Restless And Wild, Appetite For Destruction, The Headless Children, Abigail, Keeper Of The Seven Keys...
I was turned on by attending this concert in Edmonton, AB and I am so impressed, they not only still sing; but still look HOT in they're leather (WOW, 34 years later) - oh yeah, yeah, yeah!!!
Saw them play this in 2011..Was absolutely insane!Think the coolest part was seeing all the other young people in the crowd going batshit crazy!Heavy Metal JP is alive n well still
I saw Judas Priest several times all over the years but my special concert was this tour in San Sebastian/Donosti ( Euskadi,Spain,Europe,The World ) !!! Was Simply Amazing !!! Salud y Vida Pa'lante !!! Cheers and Life On !!!
Hell Bent For Leather- Judas Priest Seek him here, seek him on the highway Never knowing when he'll appear All await, engine's ticking over Hear the roar as they sense the fear Wheels! A glint of steel and a flash of light! Screams! From a streak of fire as he strikes! Hell bent, hell bent for leather Hell bent, hell bent for leather Black as night, faster than a shadow Crimson flare from a raging sun An exhibition, of sheer precision Yet no one knows from where he comes Fools! Self destruct cannot take that crown Dreams! Crash one by one to the ground There's many who tried to prove that they're faster But they didn't last and they died as they tried There's many who tried to prove that they're faster But they didn't last and they died as they tried
Great memories from the 80's. It was cool when I was only 16 in the mid 80's. I hung out with neighbors in their early 20's. They took me everywhere back then..Bars, concerts such as this, I had a great time!!
I swear when that tour came to Atlanta Georgia, Rob came out on stage popping a wheely. Then came back across stage cutting a 🍩 donut. Leapt off the motorcycle 🏍️ the instant his feet touched the stage the band broke into that song and Rob started spitting out the lyrics. The timing of that sequence was mind blowing and the crowd went wild !
Judas Priest Live is a greath video and also a fuckin' good cd live love them both verry much Tipton and Downing still the best at The Fuel for life tour '86
i saw priest live 82 i think central cali rob was lowered down on the harley with 4 steel cables, he started it mid air, they are truly kings of heavy metal, old fuqs can still jam i'd bet
I was fortunate enough to be a teenager in the 80s mtv just.came.out ( before it was trashed) i had a 68 firebird in ,1985 only few thousand miles on it.. my sister was a popular girl in school 😃 I met every big haired Jordache Jean Gloria Vanderbilt wearing hottie thx to my sis... LOL.. life was good! A firebird with a killer stereo system😎 Jammin black Sabbath Ozzy Dio Judas.priest maiden 24 7 Pioneer in dash car stereo Speakers Power booster And beautiful 80s girls.. life.was.good Thanks sis 😁
Love going to a Judas Priest concert Great music hot hot women Just the best When will they be inducted into the rock and roll Hall of fame Should have been there a long long time ago
Judas Priest live check, a motorcycle smack in the middle of the stage check, Rob dominating the crowd with his mullet check, Glen raping his Hamer guitar check, KK with sunglasses looking like he rules the world check, the bassist that doesn’t want anyone know he exists check. Yep pefect storm ! How more metal can you be ? Well with Rob as a front man, verrrrrry tall order
There was so much more excitement back in those days. Going to a metal concert was a gigantic party.
Hottest girls of all time, too.
Yes, it was. Priest, Maiden, ACDC, SCorpions, a little later metallica and Slayer. WE loved those bands so much and going to see them truly was an event.
People today are frikkin zombies.
AMEN
People now film the whole fucking thing on their phones.
K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton two of the best guitar players in the world.
Chuck Schuldiner ;)
@@sam.n7762 Oh yeah!
Best duo eva!
@@sam.n7762 gary holt?
Certainly better and faster than Brian May...
Not one camera phone ,not one tablet,the passion and the emotion on the faces of everyone in the crowd says it all ,no bs just proper music from real people ,long may continue
exactly, the audience and the performers are one...sadly, that's mostly gone now
They didn't exist at the time, it's the people who use the phones that are the problem. Guarantee you plenty of phones would have went up there if they existed.
@@swordoflight56 *would have gone up there
What is the point of comments like this haha its like complete memberberries - if smartphones existed when this concert took place, they’d be as ubiquitous then as now!
@@jhaft703 Its the classic older generation shits on younger generation, its timeless this will always just happen. The good "ole days".
Glenn is just awesome. He's such a confident guitar player he breathes charisma without displaying it.
Glenn isn't there that was KK. Downing and A.J. Mills, just saying!
@@batphink2655 what? Dude, you're loco
I was at this concert , man am I lucky
Me too but was in Germany..
Ben C It’s good you’re into Metal this early in your life though. Just wait until high school hits and you’re blasting this in your car going 20 over the speed limit.
Where was it?
6ix Xes Very much.
Andy M Dallas, I think.
I think 'Fuel for life' tour...is the Best in the history of heavy metal...100% pure and clean metal..Rob Halford God of metal...priest fan forever
World Slavery
@@NuBombTurk55 Went to both, Priest was louder for sure, plus Rock'n with Dokken was way better than Twisted Sister, lol. The city banned Priest after that show claiming it was so loud that it caused structural damage to Colosseum.
I thought Somewhere tour was better IMO from Maiden. The best sounding show goes to Queensrÿche take your pick Mindcrime or Empire doesn't matter they we near flawless on both.
In my opinion, by far, the flagship song of Judas. Pure and powerful classic heavy metal.
It describe heavy metal perfectly. Long Live the Mighty Priest!! 🤘
So I guess the flagship song of Iron Maiden is Number of the beast, right? What's the flagship song of Metallica then?
Enter The Sandman, Nothing Else Matters or Seek and Destroy.
@@szymusiek1980 Nah, Maiden's flagship is The Trooper
szymikon1980 Master of Puppets
In my opinion "Hell Bent For Leather" a masterpiece of Heavy Metal music. Also a trademark of Judas Priest, a band that goes into history of mankind's music.
one of the best live songs in the world !!!
Agreed
Judas Priest beste Heavy Metall Band aller Zeiten!!!!! UNERREICHBAR!!!!!

Forget about 99% of all that post 1990 "heavy metal" bands, most of them created by corporations.
This, young boys and girls, is the real heavy metal!
HolyMuscleOfLove lol dude 80s metal was much more corporate because it was popular at the time

HolyMuscleOfLove like there is something like "real metal" i hate metal elitist
The greatest band that ever lived during the greatest time there ever was for rock and roll music.
The way Glenn Tipton brings his whammy back up after all that crazy whammy work with that distorted feedback is pure metal
Sounds like he picked it up from K.K., glad to see K.K. was such a BAD INFLUENCE on Glenn, HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE.
The whammy work on the solo for "Sinner" back in 1977 was UNREAL. These guys are metal gods!
That is A.J. Mills NOT Glenn this is the start of K.K'S Priest band !
@@batphink2655that is Glenn. Period
The Blonde @ 3:11, Oh my Lord. Been loving her since this video came out on video in 87.. MTV Headbangers Ball
Haha yeah. That tongue
Dave Holland on Drums simply epic !
R.I.P. Dave!
@@dathorndike4908 rip dave holland
Simply the best Heavy Metal concert tour of all time .
Ahh 80s excess with the best metal period.
When HM was the mainstream!
Judas Priest!
Judas Priest!
Judas Priest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Goosebumps all the way and possibly one of the greatest encore songs in the history of British heavy metal
the guy who edited this deserves an Oscar
I was turned on by attending this concert in Edmonton, AB and I am so impressed, they not only still sing; but still look HOT in they're leather (WOW, 34 years later) - oh yeah, yeah, yeah!!!

Best of the best
There are many JP concerts that were filmed but I think this one in Dallas is by far their best, they were huge back then and at their best.
Hell Bent For Leather- Judas Priest
Seek him here, seek him on the highway
Never knowing when he'll appear
All await, engine's ticking over
Hear the roar as they sense the fear
Wheels! A glint of steel and a flash of light!
Screams! From a streak of fire as he strikes!
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Black as night, faster than a shadow
Crimson flare from a raging sun
An exhibition, of sheer precision
Yet no one knows from where he comes
Fools! Self destruct cannot take that crown
Dreams! Crash one by one to the ground
There's many who tried to prove that they're faster
But they didn't last and they died as they tried
There's many who tried to prove that they're faster
But they didn't last and they died as they tried
Great memories from the 80's. It was cool when I was only 16 in the mid 80's. I hung out with neighbors in their early 20's. They took me everywhere back then..Bars, concerts such as this, I had a great time!!

No band ever did a song called "Hell Bent for Flannel."
Pearl Jam?? During the Suck-Alternative-Era.
@@nickfuller20 beat me to it... that's what Kurt said
Please don't give Vedder and friends such perverse ideas.......
You are correct. I love all that they play. He'll bent for leather will always be a favorite of mine.
